He stared intently at Lin Yifeng, shaking his head repeatedly in denial.

Seeing Guo Fengsheng's composed demeanor and Lin Cuilan's continued panic, Lin Yifeng softened his tone.

"Sister Lin, has Xiangpiaopiao run into any trouble lately?"

Lin Cuilan looked up at Lin Yifeng, and was about to nod, but then shook her head.

This surprised Lin Yifeng.

He didn't quite understand what had happened to Lin Cuilan.

Since its establishment, Xiangpiaopiao has been operating independently and has had virtually no interaction with other companies.

Lin Cuilan was responsible for all matters, big and small, within the factory.

However, since the opening, Lin Cuilan has never reported any problems to him.

This seems rather unusual.

Even Liu Shengxing, the most capable person in this group, had called Lin Yifeng to ask for sponsorship because the company was short of money.

Lin Yifeng left Xiangpiaopiao a lot of start-up capital, but it's not like nothing has happened even after almost a year of operation.

As for revenue, Xiangpiaopiao's ability to generate income is still weaker than that of Pang Donglai and Minshengbao.

The monthly income is only four or five hundred, which is basically the same as Wallace and Mixue Ice Cream, even without any promotions.

Seeing Lin Cuilan's hesitant expression, Xu Qingyi thoughtfully inquired.

"Sister Cuilan, just tell me what's on your mind."

"Brother Feng didn't mean to blame you at all."

"If there are any problems, we'll solve them together."

Lin Cuilan cast a grateful glance at Xu Qingyi, but looking at Lin Yifeng in front of her, she still felt somewhat embarrassed.

Seeing that Lin Cuilan was hesitant to speak due to pride, Lin Yifeng changed his attitude.

"Can you still continue doing this?"

"They don't talk about the problems."

"It's difficult for me to help you coordinate this."

The moment those words were spoken, the atmosphere in the room instantly plummeted to freezing point.

Lin Yifeng's somewhat accusatory attitude finally got Lin Cuilan to talk.

Lin Cuilan lowered her head in distress.

"Our cash flow may be about to dry up."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room wore expressions of disbelief.

Given Xiangpiaopiao's current earning power, the fact that it could still break down with a monthly income of only four or five hundred yuan indicates a significant internal problem within the company.

Even Lin Yifeng was somewhat shocked by these words.

He never expected that Xiangpiaopiao, which he considered the most stable brand, would be the first to have problems with its own operations.

Guo Fengsheng's expression also changed.

"Sister Cuilan!"

"Are you kidding me?"

"Your factory is so big, and your profits are so stable, how could it possibly break down..."

Lin Yifeng also looked at Lin Cuilan with a headache.

He really couldn't understand how Lin Cuilan, who was usually quite reliable, could let the factory almost go out of business.

Lin Cuilan was already hesitant to talk about this.

Now that Guo Fengsheng is questioning her, Lin Cuilan is anxiously trying to explain herself.

"The main problem is that we have too much stockpiled goods."

"this……"

"this……"

Lin Cuilan became more and more anxious as she spoke, and eventually she couldn't even speak anymore.

Fortunately, Donglai reacted the fastest, immediately handing Lin Cuilan water and tissues so she could calm down before continuing.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Cuilan composed herself and began to tell the truth.

There weren't any major problems at the Xiangpiaopiao factory itself; everything was going smoothly.

But as Xiangpiaopiao expanded throughout the province and gradually began selling in stores across various regions, Lin Cuilan became increasingly busy.

They soon found themselves in an unavoidable situation.

That's transportation capacity!

This happened too suddenly, and Lin Cuilan was completely unprepared. There were shortages in various regions, and the tight transportation capacity also prevented Lin Cuilan from supplying goods to some remote areas.

Many regions returned the goods directly, resulting in product backlog. In addition, the factory could not stop production and could only reduce production appropriately. Workers' wages were paid normally, but the goods could not be delivered.

Adding in the costs of water and electricity, Lin Cuilan's factory faced a continuous decrease in available funds within two months.

Lin Cuilan was trying very seriously to handle this matter, contacting various transportation companies and trying to open up the channels completely, but unfortunately, she was not good at this kind of thing.

Upon hearing these explanations, Lin Yifeng couldn't help but frown.

"Okay, I understand."

"It's okay, this has nothing to do with you."

"It's mainly my problem."

Lin Yifeng comforted Lin Cuilan.

Before becoming the factory manager, Lin Cuilan was only in charge of personnel training at Wallace, and she was very experienced in personnel transfer.

However, Lin Cuilan knew absolutely nothing about doing business.

This is mainly Lin Yifeng's responsibility. He's been a hands-off manager for too long and hasn't paid attention to Lin Cuilan's situation.

Xiangpiaopiao is not in a good position right now.

With stockpiled goods and reputational issues, it will take a long time to recover.

First of all, there wasn't much money.

Money is easy to solve. Lin Yifeng has plenty of money. He can easily resolve the issue with Xiangpiaopiao by allocating just a little bit.

However, reputation is something that cannot be built up overnight.

This undoubtedly served as a wake-up call for Lin Yifeng. He currently has far too many businesses on his hands. If it were just Xiangpiaopiao that had a problem, he could still manage to resolve it.

If there are two more, the entire cash flow may break down.

"so."

"Starting tomorrow, the factory will reduce production slightly, but employees will still be paid their wages, and we will hold some events within the factory."

"As for reputation, let the local distributors start promoting it on the ground and do it again."

Lin Yifeng calmly directed Lin Cuilan's work.

"As for the transportation capacity, I'll take care of that."

“I feel that the problem with transportation capacity isn’t just on your end.”

"Qingyi, Lao Guo, you must have the same problem over there, right?"

Xu Qingyi nodded to Guo Fengsheng.
